- Shiba Inu’s price struggles as community debates decentralization vs. control.
- SHIB faces crucial support test amid slowing burn activity, pressure rises.
- Shiba Inu’s future uncertain with stalled burns, staked tokens increase.
Shiba Inu’s long-term direction is once again under the spotlight as debates intensify within its community. Most of the holders believe that the project’s real nature is complete decentralization, a vision first laid out by Ryoshi, the anonymous founder who shunned centralized governance.
As the community talks have it, this principle still defines optimism and poses internal challenges. The advocates demand that Shiba Inu continue being a community-led initiative, as this is what keeps it credible and unique.
Price Struggles and Market Sentiment
SHIB is currently trading near $0.00001256, marking a 1 percent decline in the last 24 hours. It has a market capitalization of $7.40 billion, and the daily trading volume has increased by twofold to $212 million.

Although the volume has increased, SHIB continues to trend bearishly, showing lower highs and lower lows. Support is being tested at $0.00001250, and any further decline below it may lead to a movement towards $0.00001220 and $0.00001200.
On the other hand, resistance is observed between $0.00001300 and $0.00001320. According to analysts, only a break of $0.00001340 will indicate a potential recovery. The signals are mixed, with the MACD around zero and the RSI neutral at 49.5.

Shiba Inu Burn Rate and Staking Activity
Shiba Inu continues to face the challenge of its massive circulating supply of over 584 trillion tokens. Since its launch, over 410 trillion have been burnt forever, strengthening scarcity on a long-term basis.
Nevertheless, burn activity has slowed down recently, as more than 20 million SHIB were burned over the last 24 hours. This represents a 44 percent drop in levels in the past, which has alarmed investors who see burns as a significant value driver.
In the meantime, over 4.6 trillion SHIB are staked as xSHIB. It locks tokens out of the circulation, which is another source of scarcity that helps to sustain long-term fundamentals.
The Shiba Inu community is still in a dilemma of whether to maintain its decentralized origins or to live with the demands of price fluctuations. With support levels under threat and burn activity slowing, the token’s next move could prove decisive for both traders and long-term holders.
